Turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream...

Rating: 4/10 (14 December 2005)

The action sequences are spectacular and gripping.
The acting ranges from acceptable to great.
The plot sucks.
Best line in the movie - Jones: "Are you sure you know what you're doing? Are you new here?"
Biggest problem with the movie - Linclon's transition. How does the guy who asks: "Are these your friends? Where are their clothes?" transform into the world-wise action hero he needs to become for the plot to work? Yeah, I know that some information that shouldn't have has made it into him (hence the need to destroy all subsequent product) but the mix of naive '15 year old' mentality and tough businessman "Look, I know all the chatter is your job but let's cut the shite" doesn't work - he can't be both naive and world-wise. MacGregor tries and he plays both sides admirably but it is a fatal and glaring flaw in the script.
If you can tolerate such logical inconsistencies - enjoy the ride.
